The Coronation's military horses are being kept in Hyde Park. The horses for pulling carriages are being trained at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. Many of these horses were borrowed from private owners. Five grays were loaned by the Vaux Brewery, two pair of bays from Messrs. Gilbey. Among the harness grays at Buckingham Palace, 8 of which will draw the Queen's coach, there is one named Eisenhower & two named Tedder and Cunningham. Also Montgomery, who's a bay. The Windsor grays will each carry 130 pounds of the superb state harness. Mentions the Queen's charger, Winston. On rainy days, they are exercised in the Royal Riding School. To accustom the horses to some of the trials they expect on Coronation day, the riding school is hung with strings of flags that droop low.
